Abstract

The impact of impedance mismatch of on-die transmission lines and CMOS logic cells upon device reliability was studied. The experimentally obtained results from a test chip performed on a 45 nm CMOS technology process were compared with SPICE simulations. The results reveal that the impedance mismatch manifested by voltage overshooting and slowed down voltage transition may accelerate the device aging as well as lead to increased power consumption and logic faults.
